More like when people are dickheads to nerds, they don't apologize. And it's mostly non-nerds that are dicks.
Well, that's his point of view anyway. Nerds are pretty judgmental of each other, especially of people who are new to a certain area.

I really hate how the whole "nerd/geek" culture suddenly became cool. Like, it's popular to be a socially awkward piece of **** who never leaves their house (which is probably why so many people think they're introverts or anti-social).

Let me iterate why.
Nerds/Geeks have been a thing since the ******* 90's with the comic books and Star Wars EU and whatever, so no, Geek 'culture' has not just suddenly popped up.
Second, it's not ******* popular to be unpopular. I'm a socially awkward perfectionist, so when I'm with people I barely ******* speak lest I **** up and slightly offend someone. On the internet, I can piss off an entire website and not flinch a muscle.

The reason why you see all these 'anti-social' or 'introverted' people is because the internet is an introvert's playground, since you can do whatever the **** you want without the terror of having to talk to people face-to-face. Extroverted people use websites like Facebook or Twitter while Introverted people use websites like 4chan and Reddit.

Nerd Culture exists on the internet like a Bacteria Culture exists on stagnant water. It's a perfect condition for them to exist in.

Damn, struck a nerve huh? He's right nerd culture is a thing and being a "nerd" or "geek" is cool. People who stay inside, browse the internet and play video games write on facebook or whatever the **** "Lol I'm such a nerd xD" A good example of this is youtube where theres a ******** of "Lel so nerdy" ****. Before you tell me this was always the case it wasn't, I used to wear glasses and was unironically made fun of for wearing them and playing video games.

"Suddenly become cool", I fail to see where I talked about it becoming a thing.

Right, sure you are. How would that change, really? If you were a perfectionist, wouldn't you want EVERYTHING that is an extension of you to be of the highest quality, even online? Unless, of course, you were just saying that...

I don't really see the difference, but alright. I'm sure if you went to Tumblr and called them Extroverted you would have an even worse reaction than the one you're giving me right now.

How did this even come to 'nerd culture' on the internet? I was talking about how people have this massive desire to seem introverted (which they do, as Introverts never seem to shut the hell up about being introverted, thanks for proving that yet again by the way, and that any time someone makes a joke about being Introverted people hop on their ass and rage at them while nobody cares about extroverts. You can even go back through my comments, see any one I've said about Introversion, and it would be thumbed down because that's what always happens when you make a slight crack at someones precious little persona) and how as a result it's become popular to be this way, to be flawed or to be like yourself where it earns you some badge of honour to suffer, I suppose.

Dude, what the ****. I've never seen anybody misinterpret something and then go onto a raving ramble that harsh that COULD'VE been justified, if it wasn't for the fact that you got one thing wrong.

He's talking about the "nerdy xD" people, you twat.

Being a intelligent introvert spending their spare time collecting figurines, discussing Star Wars or some other SciFi serie on forums and gatherings, certainly has been around for a while. But have you noticed how a ******* of the typical comics from girls on tumblr usually are "No, don't wanna go out. There are people out there!" in different forms, using different words, suddenly exploded in the last few years? Or perhaps the ever popular selfie-trend where there could be a whole branch of its own for "gamer girls" who pride themselves as girl gamers and make a big deal out of it?

This is aside from the decent artists that I see drawing fanworks, being nice and social at cons with their customes (or just being there for the experience itself and to have fun without making a custome), or people who actually ARE introverted instead of the cunts that brand themselves because they just don't like standing in a spotlight every once in a while.

Being a geek is simply being very passionate about a certain thing. I personally think it's a good thing the public is starting to appreciate geek culture, we're allowed to talk about our hobbies and interests to most people without being judged as much now.
But like all traits it's best to be taken in moderation. Passionate is one thing, obsessive is another.

I know it is, which I dislike that it's formed into a massive culture with rifts and divides because people so desperately want to seem cool.

Originally, it was just a hobby, an interest you could have and share with others if you were so inclined, much like stamp or sand collecting. But when you involve a certain ego to it, that collecting this type of sand makes you better than that asshole who collects that type of sand, you create unnecessary problems within your own beloved group.

See, originally I could get some guys together and have a smashing game of D&D, but now I can't walk into a single game shop and suggest it without an entire debate going in uproar about which version is better, which things are broken, which GAMES are better, which settings are more important, what the characters should be like, so on, so fourth until the entire place is divided into a dozen separate groups because they refuse to look at eachother as "Guys who enjoy what I do" and instead only see them as "Wrong for not liking it in the EXACT way I do". That's what happens when you make something into a culture, and that's why I do not like the glorification of something that does not need to be glorified.

I guess it's one of the downsides that comes with public validation. There are just more people involved now and with the new wave of players, more vocal, hardcore fans that try to dominate fandoms. And I'm sure rifts and divisions have always been in geek culture, especially since the nature of being a geek is to have very strong feelings for said subject matter. Maybe it'll fade away like most fads soon, who knows?

a nerd/geek is a person who obsesses over a field of media/technology etc. to the point in which they would bother or bore others. hence speaking to less people.

an antisocial outcast or introvert is a person who is unpopular and/or have a strange personality and thus doesn't like to speak to others at all.

the reason that you've received red thumbs is because you have basically insulted worryingly obsessive pop culture fanatics everywhere by calling them "a socially awkward piece of **** who never leaves their house"

Because it's a hobby. Just a hobby. Just something that people do in their spare time. They can enjoy it, but it doesn't make them a 'better person' for doing it any more than that one asshole who collects sand from different beaches, or stamps from around the world.

Do you really NEED a list?

Certain behaviours should be glorified, just like certain aspects, ideals, and traits should be glorified, even actions and events can be glorified, but a hobby is just a hobby and something personal that you do. That's it. It's good for you and doesn't have to be for anyone else but you, and by involving other people, ideals, or notions, you turn what was once a simple hobby into a massive culture with stereotypes, standards, and ranking systems.

A hobby.
Collecting stamps is a hobby. Building model ships, playing soccer, fishing..
Being a nerd or a geek? I don't really think that you can really classify that as a hobby, because it's too borad of a deffinition as it covers a very large spectrum of interests.

And, yes. i really do need a list, because i honestly have no idea what these ideals you believe should be glorified are.

Skipping over your first absolutely absurd sentence. I really don't understand what you have against cultures forming, humans of similar interests and goals have been flocking together since the beginning
Well, first off the notion of "good" and indeed our perception of morality itself is entirely subjective and merely a product of the times we live in. As the ages pass, so do the beliefs on which we base our entire perception of reality. But let's set aside my slightly nihilistic outlook on life and focus on your disney-esque vision of virtue.
Do you believe that someone who has interest in or is a part of nerd culture is incapable of possesing these ideals which you so proudly extol?
The notion that they are not only incapable of such moral values (Something which you are not only insinuating, but downright propagating) , but are in fact possibly the exact opposite is both perplexing and contradictory as it is discriminatory, which does coincide with the ideal of righteousness.. at least not my understanding of it.
I am unable to comprehend your particular brand of insanity as it reeks of hypocrisy and close-minded ignorance.

I like how you pointed out how you were skipping over it and then...didn't. In any case, I have nothing against cultures forming, what I'm against is some guy thinking he's a fundamentally better person for liking one rock while some other dick likes sand. "Non-nerds don't apologize for being assholes", because THAT'S what it does. It divides and creates unnecessary friction and frustration.

Not we're getting into splitting hairs because you can't be bothered to make a single defining statement. Granted I'm sure if I brought up things like slavery or child killing you'd be very quick to inform me of the immortality of it all.

>I continue to grasp at straws to prove myself right when I am utterly without argument. So instead of making one I will completely remove the conversation from the original topic and insult you

Your arrogant ignorance is astoundingly infuriating. The problem with society is that it functions as a democracy, which is a flawed system.

Remember the divide you mentioned? I don't understand why you talk about it in a bad light. See, if i met you in real life, i'd probably hate you with a passion. Why in the **** would i ever want to be anywhere near someone as arrogant, hypocritical, stupid and ignorant as yourself, let alone actually speak with you?

The problem with the democratic society is that loudmouth degenerates like you hold the majority vote. Anyone who does not adhere to your frankly idiotic vision of how people should act is labeled deffective or antisocial.
Have you ever stopped for a ******* minute to think that, "Hey, maybe they're not antisocial. Maybe they just don't want to talk with US because we have absolutely **** all in common." Seriously. What the **** do you think is going to happen? What, are you going to talk about a sports match with them? Are you high? Maybe they are absolutely uninterested in your stupid mundane life, and couldn't give less of a **** about what you have to say?
"Nope, they don't want to talk about the inane **** i'm into they must be antisocial"

And not only that. You go as far as to actually villify them. VIllify! What the **** is actually wrong with you?

By skipping over it, i meant i'd rather not go particularly in depth, but felt to point it out because i like pointing out stupidly obvious things.

Immortality?
I hope you mean immorality, otherwise i am incapable of divining the meaning behind you perplexing statement.
And if you did mean immorality then that just raises further question along the line of: Wouldn't anyone who falls under your frankly adorable list of ideals be "very quick to inform you of the immortality of it all"? I'd expect you to be the first to advocate against such atrocities.
The fact that you believe yourself without argument says much about your ability to comprehend the written word, so i am going to drop the facade of a well-spoken person because i'm starting to feel a wrench in my gut from all the passive aggressive pretentiousness.

You are a complete and utter ******* joke. You devalue a "culture" as you so delicately put it, simply because it doesn't coincide with your utterly ******* moronic belief on what should be "glorified"
Your obsession with this word is revolting, and your hypocrisy is nauseating.
So here are some arguments you illiterate twit:
1) Your deffinition of morality can go **** itself. It's entirely subjective, and you don't get to tell people what the **** they can and can not do.
2) Your absolutely daft idea that hobbies should stay personal is.. shockingly absolutely ******* retarded because people like to be around other people who share the same interests. It does not create any friction or frustration, not for them. They are having the time of their ******* lives there. For you, maybe. But no one really gives a **** what you think. And it divides? So what? If we removed everything that devided people and just stuck to things everyone can enjoy we'd be stuck in a bland homogenized gray piece of **** planet.
For your sake i hope you are trolling, because if not you are not only dangerously stupid, but disgustingly malignant.

When I say that I hate it's become cool, it's no different than any other fad that was viewed as 'out-there' (such as goth, or emo) that suddenly became popular because being an outcast suddenly earned you more...maturity points, I guess.

When I talk about people going on and on about their own Introversion, I mean that they either pretend to be Introverted in order to fit in, think they're Introverted because they like to be alone sometimes, or even use Introversion as an escape from growing as a person ("Lol, I can't go outside without vomiting, guess I'm just an introvert!"
